The truth is out there?

The January 29th 2016 issue of The Week
magazine provided a reference to a Los AngelesTimes article by
Rob Brotherton: “Conspiracy theories can be true.”

Mentioning the JFK assassination and Marilyn Monroe death,
along with the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappearance, the blurb ended with
this:

“If you’d claimed that the CIA had given American citizens
LSD, mescaline, and other drugs in secret mind-control experiments [something
Nick Redfern has chronicled], you’d have been laughed off as a member of the
tinfoil-hat crowd. [Such] conspiracies, however, were quite real. ‘Dismissing
all conspiracy theories (and theorists) as crazy is just as intellectually lazy
as credulously accepting every wild allegation.’” [Page 12]
